As is the case with more and more movies these days, Snakes on a Plane declined to hold advance screenings for critics. Not one to be dissuaded, Manohla Dargis took in the flick with the commoners and issued her review a shockingly short time after. Which is probably how she slipped this one past Sifton's standards police: "Naughty by nature or perhaps more by design, these snakes don't just dart out of toilets; they also slide up bare legs and under dresses, moving in and out of more bodily orifices than the adult-film star Ron Jeremy did in his prime."

This is almost as good as the time Frank Bruni slipped that k.d. lang reference into his review of BLT Fish.
That quote is just plain icky.
Snakes on a Plane raped me.
The porn version will be Snake in a Cockpit.
I watched the sneak-preview in Union Square last night and maybe it was because the entire audience was certifiably stoned, but roars of laughter accompanied every snake's in-and-out. A new American classic.
Ooh, baby! I have got to fly more often.
And who says the Times doesnt have its finger on the pulse of all that is current at this very moment? The Old Gray Lady, indeed!
